@ACarpenDigital Had fundraising call from college in April, wanting another four years' £££. Lovely young man - was surprised to hear the malign influence the Uni/colleges exert over the city & knew nothing about civic arrangements though was planning to vote ...
Not another penny to CU from me

Yet another glaring example of how utterly failed the water industry is. All it took was one hot weekend and not one but two water companies have been brought to their knees, incapable of doing the most basic job possible, supplying their customers with water.

And we tolerate this nonsense.

Huge thanks to Richard Blakemore for a superb talk last night - our next online lecture is next Wednesday, 3 June, when Simon Marsh of @battleftrust will be talking on Civil War artillery. More details at: https://t.co/E1kDvuICVU

‘Battery cattle’ farms surge in UK as Big Dairy rakes in profit.

Arla, Müller, Saputo profit whilst farmers struggle.

The cattle confined indoors has more than doubled in the past 10 years.

Concerns about animal welfare and pollution.

Privatised water is such an obvious scam that it's achieved the impossible: getting 82% of Brits to agree on something.

The only issue to score higher was the public’s desire for Tony Blair to stick to retirement.

Massive bombshell. Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah warns that AI will displace human labor on a catastrophic global scale. He confirms tech elites have absolutely no mechanism to share the wealth, leaving the global poor completely abandoned to suffer. He is 100% accurate.

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

And the reason no new reservoirs have been built is because the water industry was privatised. Redwood was one of the key architects of the sell-off.

So overall:
Labour hold four: Cherry Hinton, East & West Chesterton, King's Hedges.
Labour lose six to the Greens: Arbury, Castle, Coleridge, Newnham, Petersfield and Romsey.
Greens hold Abbey.
Lib Dems hold Market, Queen Edith's and two in Trumpington.

[Phil Rodgers @PhilRodgers]

Four Conservative gains in Peterborough - but there were also five losses, making a net loss of one seat. Still it could have been worse for the Conservatives, who are now the largest group on a deeply divided council.

[Phil Rodgers @PhilRodgers]

Gwydir Street poster count: Green 13, Labour 3, others 0. Make of that what you will!

[Naomi Bennett @Murielschild]

Top class trolling from Dave who is living his best life as an independent ex Labour councillor. But seriously. I don't recognise the Labour Party I grew up with in the Labour in Name Only party we have now.

[Tomás Ó Crohan @FD1959Jan]

@dailybritainonx It's those free loading drunken and entitled lying Tory and Labour bastards who have fucked up the control, robbed the public purse and raised two fingers to those who elected them.

Drinking at work is a sackable offence, as it should be.

[Melissa & Chris Bruntlett @modacitylife]

“If we can break the assumption public space is for the movement and storage of cars, a new paradigm can be opened. This isn't theoretical—it's being implemented in global cities from different starting points with the same outcomes: vibrant spaces, streetscapes and communities."

[Sam Davies @Sam_in_Cam]

Very relevant questions. One might speculate about the motivation ...

@PhilRodgers @DanielZeichner And this is our Cambridge MP who is voting against scrutinising Starmer.

[Bob From Accounts 🚲 @BobFromAccounts]

Over 10000 cyclists in under 8 hours. Tell me again why London is not a cycling city? Note the casual cycling attire, with not a stitch of Lycra in sight; this will blow the minds of the stereotype hustlers. Build more cycle lanes @MayorofLondon

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

"Feargal Sharkey demands water referendum after Brits 'lose trust' in Keir Starmer."

We need 100,000 signatures to trigger a debate in Parliament.

You know what you need to do Internet.
